As mentioned in a previous post, Hypothes.is has several new features that will make it easier for faculty to use this tool.

Up first, you no longer need to upload files to Google Drive. Instead, you can upload PDF files to a Module in D2L. Just make sure that the PDF is properly OCR’d (optical character recognized). If you are not sure, you can follow Hyptohes.is’s tutorials on OCR’ing documents.

Secondly, Hypothes.is can now be used with Group Assignments. Hypothes.is uses D2L Groups to determine the groups for the assignment. If needed, view COLI’s tutorial on creating groups in D2L.

Additionally, it is also easy to edit a Hypothes.is Assignment, allowing you to switch out PDF’s and/or make a Hypothes.is Assignment into a Group Assignment.

Otherwise, the general steps to create a Hypothes.is Assignment have not changed. The above tutorials and other tutorials can be found on the Hypothes.is Wiki Page.
